Why does not Apple-T bring up Fonts palette in Calendar text like it does in most other applications?

23. October 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , , ,
In most programs in OS X, pressing Apple-T brings up a palette for choosing and manipulating font properties. In Microsoft Outlook 2011, when typing text into a Calendar appointment for example, this doesn't work and I have to activate it through a context menu item. How can I keep MS Outlook from hijacking the apple-T?  The palette works fine in the Calendar text field, so I know it's not incompatible, it's just the keypress that doesn't work to bring it up. Any way to make it work as in other programs?

Office 2011 unable to dismiss nonexistant calendar appointments

24. September 2013 · Write a comment · Categories: Outlook for Mac · Tags: , ,
ISSUE: Cannot dismiss reminders in the Office Reminders application. Items repopulate upon opening Reminders app again.

STEPS ATTEMPTED:
1) Tried deleting existing calendar appointment - original calendar appointment no longer exists in user calendar
2) Tried new identity - does not work
3) Tried dismissing items individually - does not work
4) Checked OWA for the calendar appts - none available
5) Checked sync services - disabled

CONFIGURATION:

OSX 10.8.5 running Office 2011 14.3.7, connected to an Exchange 2010 server (recently upgraded from 2007, seems like this became more of an issue for us when that move happened)


I'm at a loss everyone and the info I've seen around has been unhelpful so far. Multiple users in our org are plagued by this problem. Any thoughts?

Whenever I create or change a calendar appointment, I get a never ending bombardment of notification emails from myself in my inbox. I woke up this morning to 475 emails in my inbox. I have turned off all the notification options but I still get these emails! Can anyone help with this?

When I put a URL into the notes field in a calendar appointment and hit enter, Outlook crashes. Every. Single. Time. Why?
